Rumor: EA reviving NBA Jam

ESPN has been told by a inside source that EA will be reviving the NBA Jam franchise. The source also confirmed that the game is currently a Wii exclusive. The development team will include EA Vancouver along with a handful of developers from the original NBA Jam.

The title is currently planned as a retail title and an announcement is due from EA later this month.

I would say that it is pretty likely, but figured I’d play it safe and mark it as a rumor.

Ha, I used to love these games when I was a kid. I heard this same report on the ESPN show “SportsNation” today, so I definitely think this is going to happen. I think I just may pick this up for nostalgia’s sake. 😛
